token
     
        1.  a basic, grammatically indivisible unit of a
        language such as a keyword, operator or identifier.
        compare: lexeme.
     
        2.  or "pumpkin" an abstact concept passed
        between cooperating agents to ensure synchronised access to a
        shared resource.  such a token is never duplicated or
        destroyed unless the resource is and whoever has the token
        has exclusive access to the resource it controls.  see for
        example token ring.
     
        if several programmers are working on a program, one
        programmer will "have the token" at any time, meaning that
        only he can change the program whereas others can only read
        it.  if someone else wants to modify it he must first obtain
        the token.
